TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging material for displaying commodities such as clothes in good design.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Conventionally, it has been widely practiced to display commodities such as socks and trunks by hanging them on hangers for sale. However, in the case where the front side is different from the rear side apparently and a wrong side is mixed in the displayed commodities, there is feeling of physical disorder and design comes to be poor and it is feared even to lower the commodity value.

[0003] Here, the subject of the present invention is to provide a packaging material for commodity capable of displaying commodities such as clothes in good design as viewed from both of front and rear sides.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The above-mentioned subject has been solved according to the present invention in which the packaging material is made to consist of a piece of sheet and made to be able to cover wholly the head portion of a commodity (such as folded clothes and so).

[0005] This sheet has rectangular sheet bodies of a substantially same shape at the front and rear sides between which a band part corresponding to the thickness of the commodity to be packaged is sandwiched. Extension pieces are provided at the right and left sides of the front sheet body through bent parts of substantially same width as the band part. Locking means are provided at the right and left end parts of the extension pieces to lock the extension pieces to each other in the overlapped state.

[0006] Extension pieces are also provided at the right and left sides of the rear sheet body through bent parts having a width smaller than that of the above-mentioned band part. Locking means are provided at the right and left end parts of the extension pieces to lock the extension pieces to each other in the overlapped state. Furthermore, slits capable of locking the extension pieces following to the bent parts of the front sheet body are provided between the rear sheet body and the bent parts provided at the right and left sides of it. It is preferred to provide a small circular notch at the upper end of the slit to lock stably the front extension piece.

[0007] The lower end of the extension piece provided at the right and left sides of the front sheet body is on the same line substantially as the line of the sheet body. Its height is preferably about 20 to 60% of that of the sheet body. The lower end of the extension piece provided at the right and left sides of the rear sheet body is on the same line substantially as the line of the sheet body. Its height is preferably about 95 to 60% of that of the sheet body.

[0008] Furthermore, in the sheet, an opening can be provided on said band part for equipping the hook material of the hanger to hang the commodity for displaying it.

[0009] The bent parts at the right and left sides of the rear sheet body are preferably made in a state of that the upper end is chipped so as to incline from the sheet body to the extension piece to be settled in good design even when the bent parts at the right and left sides of the front sheet body overlap on the upper part and the lower side is made to be in notched state. Furthermore, it is preferred that the slits provided between the rear sheet body and the bent parts have the substantially same height (depth) as that of the front extension pieces.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010]FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sheet showing an example of the present invention.

[0011]FIG. 2 is an illustrative figure showing the use condition of the example of FIG. 1.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0012] An example of a sheet of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. This sheet has sheet bodies 1 a and 1 b of 126 mm length and 46 mm height at the front and rear sides in the state of that a band part 2 of 126 mm length and 8 mm width is sandwiched between the sheet bodies. Bent parts 4 of 8 mm width are protruded from the right and left sides of the front sheet body 1 a in the same height as the sheet body 1 a. Extension pieces 3 a and 3 b (78 mm length and 23 mm height) are provided following to the bent parts 4. The lower ends of the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b are on the substantially same line as the lower end of the sheet body 1 a. Locking means 5 a and 5 b (consisting of slits and notches) are provided at the right and left ends of the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b to lock them by overlapping.

[0013] Bent parts 6 of 5 mm width narrower than the band part 2 are provided at the right and left sides of the rear sheet body 1 b. Extension pieces 7 a and 7 b of 81 mm length and 40 mm height are provided following to the bent parts 6. The lower ends of the extension pieces 7 a and 7 b is positioned on the extension line of the lower end of the sheet body 1 b. Arc slits are provided at the right and left ends of the extension pieces 7 a and 7 b as the locking means 8 a and 8 b to lock them by overlapping. Slits 9 are provided between the rear sheet body 1 b and the bent parts 6 at the right and left sides of it to lock the bent part 4 side of the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b of the front sheet body 1 a. The depth (height) of the slit 9 is made to be 23 mm same as the height of the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b locked to it. Its upper end is made to be a circular notch 13 of 2 mm diameter.

[0014] In this example, an opening 11 is provided on the band part 2 which becomes to be the top in use to equip the hook material 10 of the hanger.

[0015] A use condition is shown in FIG. 2. First, the sheet is placed on the surface of a commodity (folded trunks in this example) in extended state (See FIG. 2A.). Then, the bent parts 6 of the rear sheet body 1 b are bent and the extension pieces 7 a and 7 b are overlapped on the rear side of the commodity 12 to cover the commodity 12 and the locking means 8 a and 8 b are locked to hold the commodity 12 (See FIG. 2B.). Thereafter, the commodity 12 is bent so that the band part 2 comes to be the top (See FIG. 2C.). Bent parts 4 of the front sheet body 1 a are bent and extension pieces 3 a and 3 b following to them are passed through slits 9 positioned at both sides of the front sheet body 1 a and overlapped at the rear side of the front sheet body 1 a to hold the commodity 12 and locking means 5 a and 5 b are locked (See FIG. 2D and E.).

[0016] Though the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b are locked at the rear side of the sheet body 1 a through the slits 9, as circular notches 13 is present at the top end of slits 9, the upper ends of the slits 9 are not destroyed improperly by insertion of the extension pieces 3 a and 3 b to make a stable operation possible.

[0017] As the result, the commodity 12 comes to be in a state the head part is covered by a cap so that the commodity can be displayed stably in good design with no difference between the front and the rear.

[0018] Thus, as the packaging material of the present invention can be used by simply folding a single sheet (with no use of binding metals), it can be easily handled. Also, as it can be used under a state of covering uniformly the top part of the commodity with no difference between the front and the rear, it can display the commodity in good design effectively.
